Calvin Klein Spring Summer 2013

Given that I normally love Francisco Costa’s elegant minimalism for Calvin Klein, this collection was a bit disappointing. There were weird geometric bra shapes, ugly iridescent fabrics, and general sloppiness. Not what we expect from a brand that has been delivering consistently simple, beautiful, desirable collections for the past few seasons.

I love…

a dress that makes you go wow.

when someone can make an off-the-shoulder dress (the thing I hate most after strapless) look stunning.

I loathe…

a dress that looks like a young designer gone wrong. This is not perfect, minimal, simple Calvin Klein.

sloppy tailoring. I like the concept of the strips of black, but this should be much more polished to make it onto the catwalk.

Didn’t like the bra cups either, but I liked some of the sloppiness about the collection – most specifically the light grey satin when wrinkled in a great way (it reminded me of the first collection of Victoria Beckham, she had some dresses with the same effect)

The third photo looks like someone had a Mickey Mouse inspirational moment. Too bad.
